First Kiss

For those wondering, this is an interpretation of Delina by Parfums de Marly. First kiss is smooth, creamy, and a very close match with a little less tartness and a sweeter powder. The bottle in my opinion is lovlier than PdM's line...which reminds me of opaque Bath and Body Works lotion bottles from the early 2000's. I'd rather display my layered perfumes on my dresser. I now own a travel spray of Delina (PdM), Lady Diana (Alexandria Fragrances) and First Kiss (Be Layered) so I could see how well they performed. Original Delina: Plush, bright, citrus notes with rhubarb in the opening, blush roses, vanilla powder, and incense. Lady Diana: More intense opening but not as bright. 95% similar. Slightly better sillage than First Kiss. First Kiss: No citrus detected, more powder in the opening, sweeter overall, more distinct lychee, wears less intense than Lady Diana but same intensity as Delina. 90% similar. Edit: It was confirmed that First Kiss and Lady Diana are identical, so what I experienced must be due to one being a little older and more settled. That settles that! These are all my personal opinion, but I hope it helps you!

This is very, very much a dupe of Delina (please see my review of it). This however opens with a sharper, more pungent rhubarb and slightly more chemical scent in the first 5 minutes. It dries down considerably though, and becomes even sweeter than Delina. The gourmand notes seem more amplified, but Delina has a *slight* edge in quality. FK is a tad bit more unrefined. To anyone not literally basking in it personally (bystanders), I think they'd be indistinguishable. You'd only really notice the discrepancy if you huffed the fragrance, which I have. After hours of wear I still get wafts of it when I move around, and it's addictive. I know perfume is terrible for hair, but I can't help but spray it into my hairline and the back of my neck, it's absolutely perfect for that and trails around like a beautiful beast. The longevity is spectacular!

Youtuber Simply Chic Life reviewed this as a duplicate for Delina made by Parfums de Marly. Everybody raves about Delina so I thought I'd try the dup, since it's supposed to be so close and much more affordable. I love the dup! Never having smelled Delina, I don't know what it smells like and I'm not sure that I care. First Kiss smells so good and lasts so long, is the original really necessary? It smells like the Delina bottle looks, soft, pink and beautiful. It's good for day, evening, romance, everything and I do love it. It makes me also look at other Be Layered fragrances as the quality is so high. This is a wonderful, soft and feminine parfum, do not hesitate to blind buy. It's quite unique too. I normally like the deeper, darker scents and I love this one because it is so soft and something I can add to my collection.

I recently received my first order of Be Layered. It consisted of 55ml First Kiss and 10ml F@ck Me. I have never smelled Delina but I do own Paco Rabanne Olympea so was surprised that First Kiss smelled A LOT like Olympea whereas F@ck Me does not. I thought F@ck Me was supposed to smell like Olympea. I wrote the company and they mentioned that the formulas need a week or two to macerate but it's been a week and I still smell what I did when I first opened both bottles. It's unfortunate because I really do like the way F@ck Me smells and it is very different from my other scents. I am fairly certain that my order was not completed correctly but am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with their order.

To me, this is a really good dupe considering the price. Like 95 % dupe. The DNA of Delina is present. To me, the main differences are found in the opening : there is in First Kiss a citrusy note (like citronella as someone said) that I do no smell in Delina. Fortunately, It does not last too long. Regarding the other difference, compared side by side, Delina smells more refined and sophisticated to me. The lasting power is great with FK (but it lasts longer on clothes though). Honestly it is a good dupe for this price. The only donwside is that weird citronella note in the opening but it disappears after several minutes).

First Kiss is a bit more intense than Delina, but it's at least 95% dupe if not 98%, I'm shocked. All the notes in First Kiss are a bit sharper in a way and Delina is more realistic in floral notes. There is a fizzy citrus—mist like note in First Kiss in the beginning, in Delina it's more rhubarby, but in about 10 minutes, when First Kiss has dried down, it gets creamy and they're literally identical. I kinda wanted to get Delina, because it also looks amazing, but now it would feel a bit redundant because I pretty much already have it. The projection and longevity are out of this world.

You can only buy this online from 'Be Layered' Nanavalente8. I love Delina, but am not willing to part with an arm and a leg for her. I have a sample of Delina and First Kiss. They are so alike that I would have difficulty picking the difference in a blind test. I love the slight sharpness the rhubarb note brings to both First Kiss and Delina. Vanilla is everywhere at the moment. It's refreshing to have a fragrance that doesn't end in vanilla. If vanilla is your thing then you will like First Kiss Exclusive, as that does dry down to vanilla.

Definitely agree with the other reviews that say 95% similarity to Delina. I have a decant of Delina and sometimes I prefer First Kiss to it because it lacks that soapiness that Delina can have. All around this is a beautiful scent that could be either a signature or a special occasion scent. It's clean, a little fruity, and just plain girly but not in the classic sweet way. My only complaint is that it can be a little nauseating at first, but I'd fight through it any day to smell like this!

It's so lovely!! At first this scent gave me a headache, but after let it settle for a few weeks, it doesn't bother me at all! It starts off tart and juicy. Then, it morphs into a slightly sweet, fresh (though not "green") rose. It dries down to a sweeter vanilla and slightly powdery smell, with a hint of the rose and freshness from the earlier stages. I only was able to smell the nutmeg once when i wore it, which is sad because it was glorious.

This is a beautiful fragrance! I have not smelled Delina so I can’t compare to that. This is the looooooooongest lasting fragrance I have personally ever used.

I own First Kiss & have sampled Delina & I find the 2 to be almost identical in their dry downs to my nose. Initially, I find First Kiss to be pretty peppery/spicy (more than I’d like, possibly from the nutmeg note), but after about 30 mins to an hour, the spiciness settles & it mirrors the beatiful rhubarb, litchi, & rose prominent dry down of Delina. One major difference I can note is the difference in the sillage & projection. First Kiss projects like a BEAST & leaves an enormous scent trail (be sure to tread lightly on the trigger, trust me lol). Whereas, Delina is quite the opposite: soft to moderate projection & sillage on me. I personally feel that for the type of fragrance this is, it is more beautiful when it softly announces itself rather than forcefully doing so; therefore, I tend to prefer Delina for that reason. However, First Kiss is lovely. Both fragrances had to grow on me as I learned that I prefer the aroma that envelops me after spraying them on rather than how it smells if I were to sniff the areas where I sprayed it.

First off...I like First Kiss. As it's own fragrance it is very pretty. However, First Kiss, at least to me, was much sweeter, and less fresh than Delina, which is what is trying to mimic. It lacks the zesty effervescence that Delina has and amps up the sugary rose. Or at least the batch I purchased does. Longevity and overall performance is great but it is not the best dupe out there. But if a sweeter more rosey less fresh version sounds like your thing, you will enjoy First Kiss. I agree with MissIvy in her recommendation of Alhambra's "DELILAH". Much closer to Delina than BeLayered First Kiss. I own both now and prefer Delilah over First Kiss. Hopefully it will be added to the Fragrantica database soon.

I'm trying to not compare it to Delina. I bought it because it's an impression of Delina, and in that regard, to me, it fails, but on its own merits it's actually quite nice. It opens with strong lychee and rhubarb, the nutmeg a little harsh for me but calms down after a few minutes. Then it just stays this really pleasant rose, fruity vibe, like a fruity bubble tea. Where it fails for me as a Delina dupe is it never calms down into this yummy, soft, ethereal vanilla-and-delicate-rose scent that Delina achieves, but that's okay. For what it is, it's good, and I like it. I will say that the sillage and projection on this are incredible, superior to Delina.

I have both First Kiss and Delina, and I enjoy both scents in different ways. Delina is very smooth, creamy and refined. First Kiss is her younger sister, with a fresher vibe and more piercing rhubarb note. I can detect the incense and nutmeg that someone else wrote here, and it has a spicy side that Delina doesn't have. Longevity is not bad, maybe 4-5 hours and better on clothes. It's definitely a good alternative for the price. Given the differences I like to have both, and use Delina more sparingly

This is supposed to be a dupe for Delina. While it smells quite close it is a little different. It's not as potent as Delina. It does smell amazing so if you don't want to come off those coins for Delina thus will work

too powdery rose. gives me a headache but I can understand why it is a lovely scent.

Smells exactly like citronella (the antimosquito sprays) and fruit loops.

First Kiss? Slight miss. Yet I still would totally recommend this perfume. Reading through the reviews a lot of you who have not smelt Delina are loving First Kiss and I get why! It's a dupe for one of the most popular niche fragrances out there! And it isn't a bad dupe, not at all. Its just... I am a crazy Delina lady. I've gone through two whole bottles. Delina is my ultimate wedding scent. So my nose really knows, ya know? Lemme break it down this way just to be fair.. Without comparison: First Kiss is a delightful fragrance that is youthful, likeable and energizing. Its flirty, but in a sporty kind of way. Sporty Spice would definitely stan. It's tart, if not upright sour in the opening and then mellows out into this musky-sweet white floral note that is pleasant. Projection and longevity is surprisingly strong for the price point! Really impressed! I STILL smelt it on my skin a full two days after testing and it still smelt nice. With comparison: To my nose, First Kiss falls short. More so in the opening than in the dry down but there are still a few key differences. I find First Kiss to be far more sour and sharp in the initial spray. I don't really get the lychee coming through as much as I would like it to. Delina is still pretty tart but less linear and sweeter right off the bat because of the lychee. The dry down is where Delina shines. She is rich and creamy and full of milky white florals. First Kiss is a touch more generically musky. Final thoughts: This is a copy cat of a stunning fragrance and it does a decent job. For the cost, it is totally worth buying. I recommend this if you also can't get a sample of Delina... though its fairly easy to get your hands on one. However, personally, Delina is my spring signature and it was unlikely that she would be dethroned as she has far too much sentimental value for me to ditch her EVEN though she is an expensive date...

I bought First Kiss without having ever tried Delina and I hated it. It's just sour and musky for hours and hours. Well I tried the real Delina and I LOVE the real Delina. It's fresher, sweeter, more rosey and not nearly as musky but still tart, its just beautiful. Way more balanced than First Kiss which smells harsh and chemical by comparison. But now at least I know how to cope with First Kiss - I find that when I layer this with a sweet fresh rose like Chloe Roses de Chloe this impression is somewhat bearable (this makes sense looking at each of the three note pyramids, Roses De Chloe boosts the Rose/Litchi note over the Rhubarb that overtakes this one and adds a lacking bergamot freshness). It's still lacking the particularly beautiful citrusy note of the original but it does achieve a similar effect. But I must confess I am set on getting the real deal after I finish this bottle. I would say this is not even a 70% dupe...the differences are so important. Sour musk does not a Delina make!

5/10 SO MUCH MUSK combined with sour rhubarb, smells good at first spritz because the sweet florals balance it out but then...you lose the sweetness and you're left musky and sour. The scent lasts so long especially clinging to clothes, I can take BARELY one spritz and it will cling to me for days. But I do love the opening...if only I could figure out how to make it last, perhaps layering (haha) it with a one-note sweet floral (Roses de Chloe?) will help. I would never wear this in the summer, it is so heavy and nauseating but I feel on a cool Fall day, this could be appropriate. Interestingly although my boyfriend does not like heavy perfumes and hates powdery scents with a passion, he does like musk and actually COMPLIMENTED me on my perfume when I wore this! Now that is a rare occurrence for me. It's truly bizzare, he seems to love musky smells so maybe I will keep this around in my collection for him.
